And my clothes drawers are looking distinctly empty as my smaller clothes take up less space. I think that a shopping trip is in order . . . .
Might be time for her to do her own!
I agree with this. Mine have all done their own laundry since their arms were long enough to reach the back of the machine. Their laundry baskets were too heavy for them to lift, so they dragged 'em. 9 -

No one told me id become an addict to shopping...
Or that id need new bras constantly...but in the same size? Cup stays the same but volume doesnt? i dont get it....
Bra sizing is the weirdest thing. I started at a 40B and am now a 36D. Apparently as the band size goes down, so does the cup size, which makes no sense to me at all. But I definitely had to learn that lesson over the past year or so.3 -
The band size is the actual measurement in inches, but the cup size is how many inches bigger your breasts are than your rib cage. So as you lose weight, the comparison between the two measurements may change, or it may not. Like, if your band size goes down a lot, but your boobs don't shrink much, your cup size will go up. If they shrink equally, your cup size could stay the same.
I was a 44G; am now a 36DD. So my boobs are shrinking faster than my rib cage.22 -

Thats why im very confused mine hasnt went down at all cup size but definatly has waist size. XD But i guess why the bras i had werent fitting was im guessing weight loss in my arms (FINALLY!) They were so huge i hadnt lost an inch since i started 85 pounds ago in my arm xD So same cup size, Just needed tighter non stretched straps i suppose

It's No-Pants Friday. I grabbed the boxers I wear under my kilt (yeah, I know ) and they fell off. Didn't expect to have to improvise at oh-dark this morning....
I always wanted to know what they wear under there. Now I know:baggy boxers.
Edit: my smiley face looks like he's leering. I didn't mean it that way.

I'm in a pipe band. The struggle is real. I have to get my buckles moved so the whole thing doesn't end up around my ankles.
Yeah. I've got a custom kilt I've got to return to the maker and get remade, not altered.5 -

Because I have been large for so long, now I am losing I have heaps of expensive lovely clothes that now swim on me. The necklines all fall off my shoulder. I miss wearing them. I have lost just under half what I need to lose so can't buy any new clothes yet. Might have to go op shopping soon.7 -

Everyone deserves cute clothes that fit, Get atleast one t hing that makes you feel sexy/confident while losing at all times! And yay for thrift stores for the rest 17 -
I have made sure to have one pair of jeans that fit. When I can pull them off without undoing them I buy a new pair. I feel good in them and it helps me see my progress16

I've been plugging away on MFP for five months now and I am amazed at the crazy way time seems to warp while on this process☺. It seems like each day and week passes slowly but the months have just flown by!
Must be because I need to be aware and thinking about each meal in the day and I wait for each Sunday to register my weight but it seems like just yesterday that I started this process (42 pounds ago). It keeps me motivated because I know that even if a day can be long and hard, as long as I stick with it, before I know it a few more months will go by and I will be at my goal. Very strange awareness of the passing of time.27 -

It is a little like raising children - the days are long but the years are short.24 -

How food babies really feel...Before id eat a big meal and say "wow i feel pregnant" ...
Now i actually LOOK pregnant if i overeat hahaha i feel like i could roll around11 -
Wrinkles and bones, especially on your face. The more weight I lose off my face, the older I feel. Without that extra fat filler to puff out my cheeks, the wrinkles seem more real, and the outline of my cheek bones being visible makes me feel quite gaunt.17

Yes, the wrinkles and bones and sags and bags have been a bit of a downside for me, but the extra spring in my step makes the weight loss well-worthwhile. I'm 70 years old and closing in on 70 pounds down, feeling better than I have in many years.38 -
23 years old and down almost 60lbs since 2011 and am at a weight that I haven't been since I was like in 6th grade (140.6 as of today) and my mind has not caught up most days. I just don't feel like I've changed. Taken pictures, taken measurements, clothes have been given away because they're too big, but I still can't SEE the difference in person. Some days I see it but mostly I just keep powering through I guess.28

It will click one of these days. Try new experiences that u wouldn't have tried previously, for ex: bellydancing at home or at the gym, simulated sky diving, etc.
